FAQs by Star Clients
What are the grounds for divorce in Idaho?
Idaho is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove wrongdoing to file for divorce. The most common grounds for divorce are irreconcilable differences or a separation of at least 6 weeks. If you’re in Star and considering divorce, it’s helpful to understand the simplest path to separation, and our team at Foley Freeman can guide you through the process.
What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody in Idaho?
Legal custody refers to the right to make major decisions about a child’s upbringing, like education and healthcare. Physical custody refers to where the child primarily lives. In Idaho, parents can share legal custody while one parent may have primary physical custody. If you’re navigating these issues in Star, our team can help explain how courts typically handle these matters.
How long does a divorce take in Idaho?
In Idaho, the minimum waiting period for a divorce is 20 days after filing if the couple has no minor children, or 60 days if there are children involved. However, the process can take longer depending on the complexity of the case. If you’re in Star and need help with the timeline for your divorce, our team can help you manage expectations and move the process along smoothly.
